On a sidenote, when I was in India last I was aghast to learn the Mercedes were selling lower spec saloons for a hgher price than in Europe and NA. Their excuse/marketing being that Indian roads didn't allow for a V6, so a straight 4 was chosen instead. Seemed like a total ripoff.
I wonder if we'll see Indian auto manufacturers replicate the success Royal Enfield are having in NA in the future, after domectic demand is met of course.
